Danse Macabre is a unique combination of fantasy and autobiography, of classic horror writing honed to an unforgettable edge; an analysis of horror, terror and the supernatural in films, television and books by the bestselling master of the genre - Stephen King.
Ranging across the whole spectrum of horror in popular cultures and going back to the seminal classics of Count Dracula and Frankenstein, Stephen King describes his ideas on how horror works at many levels, and how he brings it to bear in his own imimitable novels.
Especially interesting reading if you are a writer yourself. Gives a good insight into the mind of Stephen King and how he thinks. Not being a writer myself, but wishing I was, makes this book interesting in a different way, very unlike his other novels.
